General Lanlin of One Piece

Chapter 690 The incompatible Akainu and Aokiji (page 12)

"Who told you that the marshal must be selected from among the governors?"

Black Horse looked at Luo Xia with a smile.

He just liked seeing Rorschach lose his composure.

"Isn't it? As far as I know, all the previous naval marshals were selected from the governor general, that is, the level above the general. The former commander-in-chief, and later the Warring States man, before he became the naval marshal, not Are they all admirals?" Rorschach asked.

"They are indeed marshals promoted from admirals, but that does not mean that admirals who are not admirals are not eligible to run for election."

Lieutenant General He explained.

It turns out that in the selection of naval marshal, in addition to the marshal himself and the generals who are eligible to participate in the election, other qualified candidates include the chief of general staff and naval generals with high enough strength and prestige.

For example, Lieutenant General He actually had the qualifications to compete for the navy marshal, but she gave up.

As for naval admirals with high enough strength and prestige, it is also easy to understand.

"When I became marshal of the navy, Zefa and Garp were also qualified to compete with me for this position, but they both chose to give up. Zefa is a general, but Garp is not."

Warring States looked at Rorschach, "You are now almost the same as Garp, with an exception. Although you are still a vice admiral, your personal strength has reached the level of a general, coupled with your strong prestige, and your reputation around the world. His huge influence is enough to qualify him as a candidate for navy marshal."

"So that's it."

After listening to several people's explanations, Rorschach finally understood.

Seeing Luo Xia's silence, Dark Horse couldn't help but stretched out his hand and poked his shoulder and said with a smile: "How are you? Are you interested in competing for this position of marshal? If you treat me to a meal, I can vote for you. . I think you have a good chance of being elected. After all, you have killed both the Golden Lion and the White Beard. Now, on the sea outside, someone has given you a new nickname, the Legend Killer, who specializes in killing legendary pirates. By."

"What a stupid nickname." Luo Xia twitched the corners of his mouth, and looked at the people around him in confusion: "How to choose the position of Navy Marshal? Is there really any voting? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"It used to be." Warring States said: "At that time, the selection of marshals involved votes. Generals above the brigadier general of the headquarters could each cast a vote for several candidates who were qualified for selection. Whoever gets the number of votes The most naturally means that the candidate has the highest reputation in the navy, and of course can secure the position of marshal."

"In other words, you won't vote now?" Rorschach asked doubtfully.

Warring States nodded.

"Yeah. Then it was before, now it is now."

"Times have changed. The voting selection system has been abandoned. Instead, the navy first recommends a few suitable candidates, and then the world government's highest authority makes the final decision and appoints them."

"So, we can actually choose anyone. Anyway, the final decision-making power is not in our hands, but is decided by the Five Old Stars, right?" Luo Xia pouted.

Warring States' tone hesitated, but he still nodded, "That's right."

Luo Xia shrugged, spread his hands and said: "In that case, why bother and hold a meeting? Just submit the list of people who want to be marshals and let the five old stars pick one from them. It will save trouble." .”

"That's it, but the Admiral is the supreme commander of hundreds of thousands of sailors around the world. The selection of such a key position is not a child's play. Once you sit in this position, you can't do things based on your own personal preferences, but We must take responsibility, be responsible for the interests of the world government, be responsible for the lives of thousands of naval branches and hundreds of thousands of sailors around the world, be responsible for the lives and property of more than 100 participating countries and more than a billion people..."

Before Warring States finished speaking, Luo Xia suddenly raised his hand and said without hesitation: "I give up my qualification to run."

When Kizaru, who was grinding his nails, heard this, he also raised his hand and pouted, "I'll give up too."

Warring States' face darkened, he stared at the two of them, and said angrily: "You guys just give up before I even finish my words. How afraid are you people of taking on these important responsibilities? Don't forget that you are the top decision-makers of the Navy Headquarters. It’s the admiral!”

"It's not that I'm afraid, it's because I really can't do it." Rorschach said with a grimace, "I'm fine with beating and killing people, but let me do the complicated political work and fight with those officials from the World Government who have their noses in the sky. I'm afraid I'll go to Xianjin City and be imprisoned just three days after taking office."

"The same goes for me." Kizaru agreed slowly under the dark gaze of Sengoku.

"you……"

Warring States hesitated to speak, feeling his teeth hurt from the anger of two lazy guys, Luo Xia and Kizaru.

He wanted to give Rorschach a scolding.

But if you think about it carefully, Rorschach is right.

He is still too young now, and this is the time to use his blood and passion to lead the Navy to safeguard justice around the world, instead of sitting in Marigio or staying at the Navy headquarters early, doing civilian work for retirement.

Once you become a naval marshal, you basically have no chance to personally lead troops to sea to fight pirates, because you have to sit in the Holy Land and protect the safety of the Holy Land.

The reason why he has rarely stayed in the Holy Land over the years is because Malinfando is not that far away. In addition, the Holy Land also has a commander-in-chief, and he is over seventy years old, so it is not suitable for him to go back and forth between the two sides.

This time, the naval headquarters in Marineland will be abandoned and become a residential area for naval families and a cemetery for martyrs. The new headquarters will be moved to the G1 branch in the new world.

By then, the newly appointed naval marshal will probably be stationed in Mariejoia for a long time, responsible for the remote command and dispatch of naval personnel and other complicated tasks.

As for Kizaru...

Warring States rubbed his brows, too lazy to look at Kizaru's old, wretched face.

If this guy came to be the marshal of the navy, Sengoku would be worried that the Holy Land would be stolen. This guy was either still napping or cutting his nails.

Therefore, he simply looked at the remaining Aokiji and Akainu.

To be honest, Warring States himself preferred to hand over the position of marshal to Qing Pheasant.

It's not that he thinks Akainu is not qualified for the position of marshal.

But the justice practiced by Akainu is too extreme, completely contrary to the moderation and stability he has insisted on for decades.

Everyone in the Warring States Period can imagine that if Akainu takes over, the navy will definitely increase its investment in war against pirates in the next development.

By then, the peace that has been maintained between the navy and pirates for decades will be completely broken, and wars that can devour countless sailors will come one after another.

The sacrifice of sailors will become the norm.

This is definitely not what Warring States wants to see.

But the Warring States Period also knew that among the Five Old Stars, the most preferred marshal candidate was not Aokiji, but Akainu.

Because Akainu listens to the World Government more than he does.

No matter how inhumane the orders and requirements are, Akainu will do it without hesitation.

Seeing Sengoku looking at Aokiji and Akainu, everyone else in the conference hall fell silent and looked at the two.
